This blog was set up for the spreads that I do in my daily life art journal. It is simply a Mead Composition notebook where most of the pages have been transformed with acrylic paint, rubber stamps, magazine clippings, bits of my calligraphy, and my writing about whatever happened to me that day.

Enchiladas (Aug. 13, 2010)

The background for this spread was made with Anita's Morning Blue, Seafoam Green and Americana's Wisteria. I sketched the "E" and outlined it with a black Pitt pen. The interior zen doodles were drawn with various small sizes of Micron pens and colored with Prismacolor pencils. The rest of the word was written with a fine Pitt pen in the script known as Akim.

About Me

My first love in the world of art was calligraphy. I have studied with more than 60 instructors. This led me to various other art pursuits including watercolor, rubber-stamping, book-making, and art journaling. I am now retired and free to play with all kinds of art techniques, but spent 31 years as a classroom teacher and school librarian.
